Notes on Use

Liquid Crystal Panel

¡Do not cause impact to the liquid crystal panel. ¡Usage temperature range: 0 °C to 40 °C

{32 °F to 104 °F}

When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the image may not appear clearly or may move slowly. Also, movement of the image may seem to be out of synchronization or the image quality is not malfunction or problem.

¡In order to protect the liquid crystal panel, keep it out of direct sunlight while the unit is not in use.

¡Sudden changes in the temperature inside the car such as those which occur immediately after the car’s air conditioner or heater has been turned on may cause condensation (droplets of water) to form and, as a result, the panel may not work properly. Do not use the unit while these symptoms are in evidence but leave the unit standing for about and hour, and then resume or start use.
